My mom has begun cleaning out her attic and has started to deliver a lot of my personal effects to our house over the past few weeks. The timing is great because we're having a garage (really...a "yard") sale next week. At the bottom of one of the boxes that contained a bunch of childhood items were these three vintage Matchbox Disney cars. Guess who I didn't really love? Looking at you, Minnie. Compare the paint job on Jiminy Cricket - and how banged up he is - compared to the relatively untouched Minnie. Also, see that "TJ" on the front hood of Jiminy's Rolls Royce? That's what I was called for a few years when I was a little one. I actually don't remember that period, but I'm reminded every once in a while when one of my Aunt's calls me that at a family gathering.
Don't worry. These cars aren't going in the garage sale. The Babe had asked recently for some 'cars' - after playing with them at her friend Michael's house over the weekend - so she'll be thrilled when she sees these!
